I’d never heard of Hungry Girl before, but after this article in the NYTimes, I’m definitely intrigued.
Ms. Lillien has been criticized for advocating a path to weight loss that is slippery with Cool Whip Lite, onion soup mix and other foods of debatable nutritional value. She says that the recipes reflect the reality of what American women eat, sometimes despite their best intentions. “I live in the middle of the supermarket,” she said: the aisles that are stocked with packaged processed foods, many of which are loathed by locavores and nutritionists alike.
She says she also encourages her readers to eat soy products, almond milk, fiber cereals and butternut squash. Although Ms. Lillien herself espouses conscious eating, Hungry Girl ducks the issue on matters like seasonality, carbon footprint, organic status and saturated fat. She cares about just two things: How does it taste? And how much of it can I have?
